If the politicians and so called leaders are not enjoying luxury, how would they be comfortable enough to provide solutions to the problems facing the populace? 😂😂😂

Nigerians will still cry some more. Perhaps if they ever get pushed to the wall, they will rise up and consume their leaders regardless of religion, ethnicity or tribe.

Without that, nothing will change, because the politicians know that they're not accountable to you, the citizens.

I just hope their sycophants are enjoying sha, cos it'll be utter stupidity to support your slave master and not be enjoying o

May be hard to swallow indeed. It is only sycophants and blind political jobbers will make such comment.
I m in the street right now .Enter the streets and feel the pulse of Nigerian. N1000 can't buy a descent plate of meal .To feed an average family of four is extremely demanding...yet some of us have not received the new minimum wage...some of us don't sleep at night anymore 😭

I thought I was the only one observing this trend.

The other day it was an elderly woman who approached me to buy her a loaf of sliced bread or a paint of Garri to feed herself and Children.

The other week it was another woman.

It is crazy the level of poverty and some people still defend corrupt government men like ours. Goes to show the dead sense of judgment they have got and how Satan was able to deceive some angels in rebellion against God.

Goes to show you that some people are not fit to be humans.
Seriously, it is getting out of hand. We are in danger of losing our lives

This Punch Newspaper is now feeling the heat.

During campaigns they deleted all posts and online news that exposed TINUBUs corrupt and drug infested life.

They acted on tribalism and supported a failure, just to score foolish points, claiming that TINUBU will reform NIGERIA.

Same Tinubu is making them write editorials filled with tears.

Una must collect..e sure DIE

Nonsense grin
Is a lie.

Since the coming of APC punch is the only newspaper Buhari barred through his CSO from having access to the presidential building because of the way they report their news unfiltered.

Buhari's administration will end up dwarfing that of the Tinubu's administration in terms of performance. With each electoral cycle, comes a corresponding decline in performance by the succeeding administration.

Tinubu doesn't have the magic wand. The man just aspired to be President to fulfil the last phase (Self Actualization) of Maslow's Hierarchy of Need theory.
Re: Warning On Deepening Poverty -Punch Editorial by Pigstormentor: 9:58am On Mar 25, 2025
Wakeup...

Punch is a TINUBU handbag. The home-video script calling Buhari a General instead of PRESIDENT was pushed by TINUBU so as to get leverage on BUHARI.

Punch Newspaper had so many news and posts about TINUBUs certificate, drug issues, and corruption cases.

All those where deleted during his campaigns for Election. So where is the so called uprightness you claim they have?

Punch Newspaper is a failed news outlet.

are you hallucinatiing or what? A reform that plunges Nigerians into an ocean of poverty, drives investors away, undermines the judiciary, and fuels high insecurity will not give you a stronger Nigeria. Get that to your skull.

Reforms, sacrifices. Which one of these do they bear?

They always expect the masses to make sacrifices while they live in opulence? Borrowing and printing money anyhow, while taxing us to create the illusion that they are funded by our tax money. Atleast the blind can clearly see that now.

If our tax money was really funding the government then policies that encourage local production and industrialization would have been encouraged.

Why spend billions to build a coastal road that will be useless for the next 8 years when a fraction of the amount spent will rehabilitate strategic roads in other parts of the country.

Why is insecurity in farm settlements not addressed? Why are the revenues from solid minerals not accounted ?

I will tell you why. Its because we have a band of thieves governing us.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.

The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.

Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.

The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.

Poverty is the grand plan of apc to remain in government

So that when election reach they can induce and entice voters with money to buy votes

It remains for the people to emancipate themselves and resist their bait

But unfortunately most nigerians voters are moved by their belly

Punch and her editorial board should worry about so many things, especially their future in the print media. Their bias, siding with the enemies of the present administration is worrisome. Condemning every government's decision on development is enough for every sane populace to avoid their space. May patriotic Nigerians triump and succeed!

Na hunger go finally drag people to the street and it won't be funny to all this politicians. Though most have their monies stashed in foreign banks and houses abroad. They will only japa with their private jets. The best the people can do is to burn their one or two house.
That's why they don't have any investment here. Only few that made it before joining politics for more money and power to protect their investments grin They know that one day go be one day.
I think it's best to join hands to salvage this country. Government should find a way to settle these Fulanis herdsmen issue, improve on security and encourage farmers. It is food first.... Many are afraid to go to the farm. But because of next election, they won't do it. They prefer the crooked way.
